Rick Springfield as "Emerging Artist"?!?!?!?

I've lost some respect for my friendly, neighborhood Borders.

Here's why:
I went into Borders today to get Rick Springfield's new album "Venus in Overdrive" and found it in the Emerging Artists section.

Seriously?!

How does a decades-spanning career in music, a Grammy award, 17 Top 40 hits, something like 20 albums, and over 18 million records sold make you an "Emerging Artist?"

Here's a clue, Borders: it doesn't. Rick Springfield is NOT an "Emerging Artist." Duh.

To add insult to injury, Rick's CD is sharing a shelf with Miley Cyrus. That's just wrong.

I'm enjoying "Venus in Overdrive" though. :)

You can buy it yourself here:
